Abstract

The third edition of the ASE’s Teaching Secondary Biology sets out a vision for teaching and learning biology. Learning biology is not about learning the contents of a textbook. It is about conceptual learning, learning what it means to do biology and learning what it means to be a biologist. Our hope is that Teaching Secondary Biology helps teachers of biology to achieve these aims. The author team with whom we worked kept in mind a secondary teacher confronted with the task of teaching a specific topic, e.g., photosynthesis or evolution, and the preparation they would need to undertake. This article provides an overview of the book, which has sister volumes in chemistry and physics, and discusses ways in which teaching biology has much in common with teaching the other sciences, yet is distinctive too.
